Miami's cat killer

Dog lover Tyler Weinman is charged with a series of cat killings.

"What is it about Florida?" asked Jan Barrett in Blogger News Network. The state generates a seemingly endless stream of frightening headlines about child abductors and murderers. Now 18-year-old Tyler Hayes Weinman of Miami-Dade County was arrested and charged with being a "serial killer" of cats—some of which were skinned, gutted, and left for their owners to find in their yards. Could there be something in the water down there?

The cat killings only grew more mysterious with Tyler Hayes Weinman's arrest, said Jose Pagliery, Andrea Asuaje, and Robert Samuels in The Miami Herald. The suspect "was not the reserved yet rabid killer some expected. He was a dog-loving class clown, a swim class instructor, an 18-year-old who grew up before the eyes of the four-legged victims' families."
